Abstract:
A wireless power transmission system and method are disclosed. The wireless power transmission system includes a plurality of wireless power transmitters configured to provide power to a plurality of wireless power receivers, and a controller configured to control the wireless power transmitters based on information of the wireless power receivers. The controller is configured to receive information of a wireless power receiver from the wireless power receiver, calculate a transmission parameter associated with a transmission efficiency of power to be provided to the wireless power receiver using the information of the wireless power receiver, and provide power to the wireless power receiver through the wireless power transmitters based on the transmission parameter.
Abstract:
A receiver of a wireless power transmission system may include a capacitor-and-inductor configured to receive power from a transmitter using a resonance, at least one capacitor configured to connect to an output node of the receiver, and a plurality of switches configured to control current flow within the receiver. The plurality of switches may be controlled so that the capacitor-and-inductor may be disconnected from the at least one capacitor and the output node at preset periods. Current resonating in the capacitor-and-inductor may increase during disconnection between the at least one capacitor and the output node. The plurality of switches may output the increased current to the battery by connecting the capacitor-and-inductor to the capacitor and the output node after the period, connect at least one capacitor and the output node in series after the period, and operate to reduce root mean square (RMS) current within the receiver.
